Louisiana to tax sports betting to give to schools to off-set revenue sharing. Thoughts?
- If the Colorado state legislature did this, I wouldn't mind it a bit. Rick George needs to think outside the box if CU is going to keep up (perhaps starting with stadium naming rights) (57%, 20 Votes)
- Nothing like the rich getting richer. Anyone see the need for LSU to hold a bake sale to balance its budget? SEC money and sold out stadiums, and LSU needs an extra check from the state? Yuck (29%, 10 Votes)
- A great idea. Adding an extra tax on the fan base, and using the funds to help schools with a new source of revenue, makes sense. Schools are going to need to be creative in revenue generation (14%, 5 Votes)

Does it matter to you whether SEC teams play eight or nine conference games?
- Yes. All of the Power Four conference teams should be on a level playing field when CFP bids are considered. November wins over Mercer shouldn't be part of the equation (77%, 114 Votes)
- Doesn't matter. When a team like CU is up against an SEC team for a CFP bid, the "strength of schedule" argument is always going to go to the SEC team, regardless of overall records (18%, 26 Votes)
- No. When you consider the number of ranked teams the SEC cranks out (and the funding they have to create those teams), it makes sense that they don't automatically include one more tough game (5%, 8 Votes)

Texas State the odds-on favorite to become the eighth football school in the new "Pac-8". Thoughts?
- Fine, but it won't move the needle in terms of network contract money. Anyone staying up late for Texas State at Fresno State or Colorado State at Utah State? Thought not. (56%, 81 Votes)
- Makes sense. Gives the new conference a foothold in Texas, as well as a team playing in the Central time zone. The Bobcats are a sensible choice (after being shunned by UNLV, Air Force, Memphis, etc.) (24%, 35 Votes)
- Not that anyone is paying attention to CSU (nice to be able to completely ignore the Lambs until 2029), but you know they are crowing about their new "path to the College Football Playoff" (20%, 28 Votes)

Which of the following of Coach Prime's off-season contributions to you is the most significant?
- Bringing in a third-straight Recruiting Class in the Top 25 in the nation. The high school Class was small (14), but with eight four-stars. A solid transfer Class gives CU a deep roster for 2025 (60%, 81 Votes)
- Selling out CU's season tickets for the third straight season. Only done eight times in CU history before Coach Prime came along, Buff fans are all in - even without Travis and Shedeur on the roster (26%, 36 Votes)
- Having four players taken in the Draft. Drama around Shedeur's draft aside, CU had only six players taken in the previous seven drafts. Coach Prime delivers on his promise to get players to the NFL (14%, 19 Votes)

Report: Texas Tech to spend $55 million on athletes this year. Thoughts?
- The latest end of the world story. Somehow, I don't think that Texas Tech (like Oklahoma State before it) can buy titles. Who would want to spend four years in Lubbock, Texas? (58%, 100 Votes)
- The nature of the beast. It's too bad Colorado doesn't have a locked in alumnus with millions to spare. Does anyone have the contact information for the South Park guys? (24%, 42 Votes)
- So much for schools being on a level playing field, with $20.5 million in revenue sharing. Just sorry that the latest school to get a sugar daddy is in a conference where CU is one of it's rivals (18%, 30 Votes)

I like the question about SS’s negative coverage. Personally, I think the see-saw coverage is mostly about “stirring the pot” and/or getting clicks. SS is this year’s draft soap opera–a love/hate fest For one negative story there is a more positive one. Some stories are just hit jobs (anonymous NFL assistant/exec), others just cover every minutia of his life. Yesterday, Kiper has him still going early.
SS is an intriguing draftee warranting discussion, however the extensive overall coverage on every detail for one QB prospect seems over the top. NFL teams have their draft boards, needs, and evaluations and they make decisions based upon that. I’ll be glad when SS and TH are picked today and the focus will be on our team.
The Buffs need to wear the silver and gold that are the official school colors. Black jerseys are OK as the’ve been around for a long time, but out with the black helmets–and the white ones too. Gold helmets with silver pants, alternating with silver helmets and gold pants would be good. Nix on all black and all white!!
‘SkoBuffs!! Drub the Nubs.
Stuart, your polls are so thoughtful and on point. Appreciate you doing this and sharing it with your CUAtTheGame community.
Did Coach Hagan just let the cat out of the bag regarding Colorado’s starting QB?
Wouldn’t mind the Cheez-It Bowl at all, as I have connections at Kellogg’s (owns Cheez-it) who could get me tickets!! Is that Cheezy??? 🙂
